Very memorable trip! Loved visiting Helen, the sounds of the creek from the cabin and the amenities. WIFI was spotty at best and if I wasn't tech-savvy, we would have been without internet a total of 3 times during the 4 night stay. Wish there was central heating and air but didnt lose any sleep over it and was comfortable. 1 roll of the provided toilet paper was barely enough for 2 people for 2 days. Cabin needs a larger skillet in the kitchen. Honest reviewer. The place was beautiful, secluded and serene. Communication was great. Will definitely return.

Cabin is in a great location behind the Helen Fun Factory, we walked everywhere over the weekend. The creek running underneath the back porch is very relaxing. Love coming to Helen so will keep this cabin in mind for future visits!

Great location in Helen

The cabin was clean and cozy. The location was great as it's within walking distance to the main street in Helen, but felt very private since it's set back in the woods.

Beautiful Location

The cabin location is beautiful. In the woods and lots of room. However, no instructions on the fireplace and the air conditioners needed cleaning before they would work. Place was clean, lots of dishes and towels and a nice walk to all the Helen Georgia events!

Lovely, quiet stay

What a cute cabin! Our kiddos loved it and called it our gingerbread house. It’s a very walkable distance to downtown (about 10 minutes), which was perfect. The cabin had plenty of space for our 4 person family. The back deck was nice and big, plenty of seating. It’s tucked away from major roads and other cabins, so it’s very private. We loved the fireplace! We will definitely consider this cabin again for future trips to Helen.
